I'm in a quandry. I replaced all the brakes..pads, calipers, rotors I bought a pressure bleeder as well. Ok, I have run about 3 liters of fluid through the system with the pressure bleeder and have also manually bleed the brakes. What was interesting is that there were particles running though the rears. I think the new pressure bleeder may have contaminated the lines at the very begining. The lines are now clear, no bubbles.
With the manual bleed, the pedal will go to the floor as the manual indicates while I have the bleed screw open on the fronts. On the rears, the pedal does not move as on the front. I do get fluid flow but the pedal is not moving to floor as the manual indicates it should.
My problem: The pedal is still very spongy. I suspect the rears are my problem. I ran the car up and down the drive way and can see good contact on the fronts but very little in the rear. The pads are removing the black coating on the rotors, very easy to see.
I have the rear of the car on jack stands.
I can continue to run fluid through the lines, but I feel like I am getting nowhere other than wasting good fluid.
Any suggestions?
